The real danger isn’t just that the West is enabling or even partaking in genocide by starvation, but that it is now chillingly comfortable being seen as complicit in it. It's a horrific type of comfort that tells the world, “we know what this looks like and we don’t care.” In this phase, western elites have moved beyond merely permitting genocide under might makes right into justifying it as necessary through might makes righteous, whereby mass starvation is framed as Israel’s right to self-defense. The continued use of this phrase, even by so-called progressives like AOC, ultimately serves as a justification for defensive genocide. This isn’t just cynical realpolitik, but a brazen subversion of all basic moral norms and of humanity itself.

NY Times: Russia 'weaponizes hunger' in Ukraine (war crime!) but Israel 'is not committing genocide' in Gaza (justified!). Same paper, same moral hypocrisy
